One of my earliest memories is screaming in terror in my Mother's arms as the whistle on the mighty steamship The Sagamo blew loudly while she navigated the locks at Port Carling connecting Lake Muskoka and Lake Rosseau.

Some believe the government has collected crashed UFOs and is trying to reverse engineer the technology. Maybe if those aliens crash so often we shouldn’t copy their spaceship designs. — James B. Meigs

1967 - Abbie Hoffman and a dozen other Yippies crashed the visitors’ gallery of the New York Stock Exchange and showered the trading floor with dollar bills in what they called an act of “guerrilla theater.” Trading slowed to a crawl as brokers and clerks scurried to grab the money as it fell. -WSJ

Wonderful. Halfway into the first track and I had to buy the album. Thanks.

Much of his session work has gone uncredited, but he has been named as the electric guitarist on Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man", the Walker Brothers' "No Regrets", David Bowie's "Holy Holy" and "1984", Elton John's "Take Me to the Pilot" - his Wikipedia page. I am obsessed with No Regrets.

John Paul Jones, who arranged and played bass on the track (and also booked the session musicians), was reported to have said by email that Clem Cattini played the drums and Alan Parker played the electric guitar. This line-up was confirmed by Cattini.

August 13, 2012. Moved computer to a standing position - wasted time online declined. About to wire this up on the real desktop & see what I think as a possible live rig. Using a MonoMachine as a MIDI controller for a SunSyn has a certain appeal.

The opening soundtrack clip features an ARP 2600 owned by Zoetrope Studios which I unknowingly purchased about 25 years ago.

On this day 1920, Charles Ponzi was arrested for financial fraud in Boston after taking in more than $6 million from thousands of investors. He had been repaying each $1,000 invested with $1,500 just 90 days later, but only by taking more money from newcomers...

On this day in 1928, accepting the Republican presidential nomination, Herbert Hoover declared: “We in America today are nearer to the final triumph over poverty than ever before in the history of any land.” Unfortunately, just over one year later, the Great Depression arrived.

I had AI make this to hand out to self-appointed Guardians of Humanity. This was after I was informed four times that an image I created from scratch without using AI was, in their expert & infallible opinion, clearly a product of AI. Please feel free to borrow this and use it to reward critics.

Pre-Bowie/glam rock mock era, their first 4 albums are some of the finest rock lps of all time. I bought each just as they came out. Brain Capers nearly ended their career but is still my fvorite. Death really may be your Santa Claus.
